Mr.. pnrnnlI.s ILLNESS.

LONDON, May TO- Hitherto comparatively
little attention hes been paid to the reports,
frequent Of late, that Mr. Parnell's health is
seriously impaired, in fact, that his condition
is such that his return to his seat in parlia-
ment would result in his absolute collapse, il
not certain death. His absence from the
house last evening, however, after the def
mite announcement that he would resume his
duties, has convinced many doubters of the
truth Of the reports, and created consider
able alarm among his colleagues many of
whom seem not to have been better informed
of his condition than the general public. His
illness, however, is not generally attributed
to cancer in the stomach as yesterdays
rumors alleged, but to general debility re
sulting from anxiety and overwork

THE PECULIAR INFATuATIoN
OF Beautiful Girl for PHILADELPHIA,
Tranea Madtuu


PHILADELPHIA, May 10.-Three weeks ago
Miss Josephine M. Madison, daughter Of
George Madison, wealthy manufacturer Of
West Philadelphia, disappeared from her
home About a week ago her father found
her living with Professor James, a trance
medium and fortune teller at No. 200 North
Tenth street, who had married her after lcav-
ing her home. The husband was offered
$4,000 to release the girl, but refused the
offer.
The young lady is very beautiful and has
always been remarkable for her proud and
exclusive disposition The wedding occurred
ON the third visit to the medium, who took
her to Camden TO have the marriage ceremony
performed. Nine ministers were applied to
before one could be found willing to marry
them, because of the great contrast in the APP
pearance of the couple The husband is re-
pulsive to hideousness, has no hair, is weak
eyed, has no roof to his mouth and is unable to
articulate intelligibly. The parents of the
girl are almost crazed with grief at her strange
inflammation

indeed. IL can survive another session. The
next must not be an Irish session. Lord Sal
isbury, Lord Harrington and Mr.. chamberlain
will agree upon that. 1t must be a session OF
general legislative activity, with relief meas
ures for special classes and something large
and conspicuous to catch the eye of the coun-
try and distract its attention from Irish mat
ters. This will be prudent policy but when
the attempt is made to carry it out there will
be dangers in store for the Government The
Libcral-Unionists cannot be depended upon
TO follow the Tories when Irish questions are
dropped Their leaders may stand by the
Government in every emergency. The sew
enty or eighty followers will be anxious to re-
gain independence of action and to surrender
on honorable terms to the majority of their own
party.
Sir George Trevelyan, received with open
arms to a chief seat on the Opposition bench,
points out the way for the return OF the Lib
elai prodigaI who has been herding with the
Tories and feeding on the huslcs OF Coercion.
Semi-offciaI statements of a revision of the
Home Rule scheme will facilitate the process
OF conversion. The dread of a general cleo
ton with the country wearied out with the
Irish question and disposed at last to let Mr..
Gladstone have his way cannot fail to have
an effect upon the Liberal seccders The
next session will undoubtedly witness the re-
turn of many straggers-possibly the over
throw of the CocrcionstS.

DISCONSOL4TE UNIONISTS.

Lord Salisbury will not be likely to repeat
his warning in relation TO dissolution OF
Parliament The signs of reaction in favor
of Home Rule have multiplied. About the
last thing the Tories and Unionist-Libcrals
now want is an appeal to the country. The
Glasgow election has confirmed their worst
fears and convinced them that public opinion,
which was strongly on their side year ago.
is turning, indeed has already turned against
them. They are in no haste now for pre-
mature dissolution of Parliament. The Liberal
Unionists, especially would find it most
hazardous and inconvenicnt to pay their adj
dresses TO their constituencies Their leaders
can be depended upon to support the Govern
mcnt on every question, and TO postpone as
long as possible the dreaded appeal to the
democratic Cesar. The Tories themselves
will deprccatc an untimcly and ill-advised
electoral contest. They perceive that the
Government has weakened itself by dealing
exclusively with Irish questions. They will
favor legislative session of prolonged activ-
ity next year, and the introduction and pass
age of large number of needed and progress
i've measures. The Government will be urged
to take away the rcproach Of its having
negative policy barren OF useful results. Min
listers will be strcnuously urged to cling to
Office, to improve their relations with the
caprcious constituencies, and to earn the re-
spect and gratitude of the country by industry
and vigor in dealing with the legislative
needs of England and Scotland.
This is very neat political programme,
especially when the stage whisper is heard !:
:. Mr.. Gladstone is past seventy-eight time
l. -.aI 49,
the present Parliament can be kept in exist
ence until 1892 II Liberal Unionists do not
swervc from the Tories; and both Mr.. Glad
stone and Mr.. Parnell may then be in their
graves and the Home Rule frenzy forgotten
folly. This is undoubtedly what the Union
lists are saying TO themselves in the present
depressed state of their political fortunes.
But when they have leisure for reflection they
will begin to question whether the Govern
mcnt can last longer than year-whcther,

THE LOCAL NOMINA TONS.

Several of the speakers at the recent Re-
publican conference at Saratoga dwelt upon
the importance of making strong and popular
local nominations. They asserted that the
vote for the State ticket would depend largely
upon the character of the county, Senatorial
and Assembly tickets The point is well
taken, and it is to be hoped that none OF the
local nominating conventions will ignore it,
More than once in the history of the Repub
lcan party some county in the State, which
was conccdcdly Republican, has given DEM
ocratic majority for State ticket owing to the
dissatisfaction occasioncd by weak or worse
than weak, local nomination. Give us an I'M
assailable set of candidates in every county
and the outlook for tho success of the State
ticket will be most promising.
1t is especially desirable that no mistake be
made in regard to nominations for the Lcgis-
lature But it is easy TO miss the mark,
notably in the choice of Senators. The fact
that Senatorial district consists Of two or
more counties has encouraged system of
rotation which has not always worked well.
4 lawmallcr who has given entire satisfaction,
whose continuance in the public service is
cminently desirable, has sometimes been re-
fused denomination owing to the "claims'
of county in his district ~ which he is not
credited. The only sensible rule for con-
vention to be governed by is the rule of the
carnival of the fttcst Let the best men be
placed in tho ficd-no locality can have Il
claim which can properly be enforced at the
expense Of the general public and party good.
The Republicans of New-Yorll are in an OK
celcnt condition to make campaign this fall.
They arc united earnest, hopeful. Their
representatives at Albany have made record
upon which they can confidently ask the vot-
crs to pass at the November ballot-box. They
are 10 be opposed by party whose representa-
tivcs Governor and lawmakers, have dem
onStratcd that they are for the rum power as
against the people, the tax-catcrs as against
the taxpayers. 1t is a golden opportunity for
Republicans and fIst-class nominations viii
90 far to insure an old-fashioned victory.

WHAT REORGANIZATION MEANS.

Probably no person was fooled by the re-
organization scheme in the Custom House.
not even the most coniiding Mugwump. The
public was amply warned that IL was polit-
ical and not business project, and enough
facts have now come to light TO prove the
statement No complaint had been made Of
tho efficiency of the Auditors Department,
the head of which was an experienced officer
with an assistant Of twenty-five years stand
ing. But Collector Magone reOrganized the
department, by dividing the duties and Great
ing new SO, 500 place TO be filed outside
of the Civil Service rules. This has been
filed by the appointment of the
member Of the Democratic State Com
mittee from Smith NJ. Needs dis
trct who Is also chairman Of n county COM
mttee. Several other Democratic politicians
have found places in the Custom House rs the
result OF this reorganization.
Mr. Curtis does not need to 60 outside OF
this city TO find the significant change for the
worse in the Civil Service OF which he spoke
at Newport Places unknown under the last
Administration have been created in the
Custom House for the express purpose of
cvading the Civil Service law. Among these
places are Confidential clerks a. 81, 00C each,
thirteen experts drawing salaries as high
as 5000, and large increase in the number
of messengers and other employees not subject
to the law. In one year there was an increase
of $32, 80 in the monthly pay-rolls, and an
increase Of 1O7 in the number Of employees.
In May, 1885, under Collector Robertson the
expense of the wcighers' department was
SIS, 551, which in the same month OF The
present year had been increased to $50,91i.
Formerly there were few temporary assist
ant wcighcrs employed Now there are over
100, all appointed outside of the Civil Service
regulations. 1t would be easy to rectc many
such facts, showing how the Custom House
is being turned into n political machine.
Merchants complain loudly Of the unnecessary
delays to which they are subjected, and Gus
tom House brokers assert that business is
being diverted from the city on that account.
1t is certainly time for men who profess to
favor Civil Service Reform H. dcnounce such
practices; though it is doubtful If even they
expected anything better.

PROGRESS FORWARD IND BAcKWARD.

PROGRESS, FORWARD IND BdCKWARD.
In some things the country is doing grand
ly in others not so well. Probably no Demo-
crat supposes that President Cleveland pays
the public debt out of his own pocket. The
Administration could not pay if the people
did not pay, and the taxes which Democrats
have tried but failed to repeal arc the cause
of continued debt payments. Republican
laws, though not very well enforced, suffice
to keep the credit Of the country unimpaircd
